  Arrived at Marsh View for a four night stay on 7th October, from the moment we arrived and was welcomed by the owner and her two delightful dogs. Our stay here has been relaxing and peaceful. With fantastic views overlooking the river and marshes. The property is in excellent order and well equipped with all mod cons. The welcoming hamper of basic food bread, milk eggs, cereal etc is a very nice touch. All little things to make you feel welcome. The property is Set well back from the main road into Aldeburgh with no traffic noise. For the energetic a must, is the walk from the premises to Snape Malting around 4 miles following a well marked footpath through woodland, heather and wonderful views over the countryside along the way. Arriving at Snape Malting and in need of refreshments and lunch this was taken at the Café 1885 on the first floor. We both ordered the sea food platter which was delicious an excellent choice. After lunch we strolled around the many retail outlets. All the staff we encountered here were very friendly and helpful. Time was approaching 16:30 walking back to March View was out of the question, which would mean returning in the dark. Phoned for a local taxi which arrived within 15 mins to take us back to March View. The next day was spent exploring Aldeburgh sea side town, a stroll along the beach with its many huts selling freshly caught fish. quaint houses and unusual shops. We stopped for lunch at the Lighthouse restaurant in the high street which had been highly recommended to us. The food and choice on offer are is excellent. Our four day break soon came to a end. However, I’m sure we will be back again soon to explore this part of the world again. Thank you for making us feel at home. We will return.

  The basics were met but the place is in need of decorating and some tlc. It was clean but dusty and dirty windows. The sofa was not comfortable neither was the bed. Nothing in the way of comfort. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedding did need to be updated and tatty throws on it. It was clean but very worn. The outside of the Barn looked needs a lick of paint like the outside door needs repainting and general tidy. In the area there is one restaurant/ pub but gets fully booked quickly even in " out of season". The book left by the owners had some good tips in it. On the whole the stay was OK but think priced bit high for what you got. No " welcome " note and just a cheap tiny packet of biscuits which we ' left' behind . With care and and refurb it could be lovely but did not meet any of our hopes on your( website expectations) . Don't normally leave a review like this but it needs to be said. The whole experience was no where near the 3 star it was given. Even 2 would be a stretch. There are some nice days out happily weather held. Not somewhere I would want to stay if you didn't go sightseeing not enough comfort in the Barn. Shame really with care it could go to being a good place to stay. Also the television channels were limited, only 2 dvds to choose from and no WiFi. ).

  The apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The bed linen and towels were of a high quality and the apartment was very well equipped with everything you might need for the stay. It was in a very quiet location even though it was quite close to the main road into Aldeburgh. The views from the living room and bedroom were lovely and we were lucky that the weather was very nice so we took advantage of sitting in the beautiful front garden. The only negative is that the apartment is described as being within walking distance of Aldeburgh High Street. This is misleading as it is two miles along the busy Saxmundham Road with no footpath in places. This meant that we had to drive every evening into town to eat/drink which is not ideal if you have already been driving in the daytime. On the plus side there were several lovely walks close by to the apartment, in particular the Sailors Path which was only a hundred yards from the entrance to the property. We would definitely recommend Marsh View and hopefully will return next year.

  A wonderful setting and so comfortable. A mini break because we had no summer holiday. We were not disappointed. Marsh View was excellent for my husband who has difficulty walking, as it is all on one level and parking is near the front door. The space and light within the property lifted our spirits ( as did the welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge!) The bathroom is spacious and pristine. We loved the colours and decor of the living area. We were able to have our Norfolk Terrier with us and he was surprised to meet Ronnie and Elsie who looked so much like him! Though an utterly rural setting Marsh View is only about a mile from Aldeburgh with its shopping outlets and restaurants.

  We had an absolutely delightful experience staying at Caroline and John's Shepherd's Hut.

  The hut itself exceeded our expectations, boasting a charming ambiance and coziness. Its picturesque setting, right next to a vast stretch of beach, was idyllic. Witnessing the dramatic tidal changes was mesmerizing - from expansive wet sands in the morning to a submerged beach by the afternoon. The hut was equipped with everything we needed, including continuous hot water and all the essentials for cooking our meals. Caroline and John were exceptional hosts, offering warmth and assistance throughout our stay. Caroline's homemade cakes were a delightful bonus. Our time there was thoroughly enjoyable, and we left with a tinge of sadness, already looking to return for another visit!
